Shouldn't we just save this money? I mean same Governor, really no surprises or reasons to celebrate. I'm glad he won, but seriously there was no competition. The conservative thing to do would be a small swearing in ceremony and maybe a privately funded banquet. Everyone is cutting back. Here is a chance to lead by example.

I completely agree. A no-frills swearing in and a small reception paid for by supporters would be more than adequate. Phil, put the money where your mouth/policies are: no tax money for a celebration.

Is butler snow sponsoring this ?

I agree with 12:41 and 2:01. This is a waste of time and someone's money. But no one cares.

I bet they will have real police cars and everything. I'm so proud to have Feel as our governor. He is truly innovative.

Black tie and boots optional. Just like Guvnah Feel.

well this is a colossal waste of time and money. He is already governor. Stupid, arrogant, conceited, self centered career politicians

Hope we have heavy rain or snow on that day!!!!!

Gooooleee!

You think they'll have a parade with real police cars?

Thik they will turn the police car lights and sirens on?

That would be redneck orgazmic!

LMAO as the domain for Feel's inauguration lovefest is privately registered. They'll do everything possible to hide the feathering of the Frontier nest.

If that truck driver the Democrats fielded would have won, I wonder what their shin dig would have been like?

I'm thinking a Benny Thompson Bolton Fish Fry type of affair ?

That truck driver is driving the Gov'ners float in the parade.

Tix only $50. Guess I'll put on the overalls and go. Packing, of course.

I attended one of Haley's inaugural events. The coliseum was filled. Larry Gatlin and brothers played and sang. It was a grande ole tyme reminiscent of a Kappa Alpha Ball. I still have the cups, shot glasses, napkins, fountain pens, etc. They spared no expense. The only thing missing was Ernest T. Bass suddenly appearing on stage throwing rocks.

I agree with the previous comments about being fiscally conservative. I really don't care where the $ comes from, this is a TOTAL waste of it. Fiscally conservative republicans are only fiscally conservative when it benefits them. Of course, skipping an event that boasts them wouldn't even cross their minds. Do the right thing Gubner Feel-send a press release telling the voters you are going to forgo the wasted event and instead donate the money to the state budget (what a novel idea) OR a charity (an even better idea). Also, now is the time to announce the session will be shortened from 4 months to 2. All the "business" can easily be accomplished in 2 months (really 1 month if you want to practice what you preach & be responsible with tax payer dollars). Why won't he do this? Answer is simple-his legislator buddies get paid by the number of days they're in session. Going back to my original comment-it's good to be fiscally conservative UNLESS that impacts the fiscally conservative republicans. The insanity here-we keep electing the same mess. Good job, Mississippi! Near last in education, near the top in teen pregnancies, etc, etc...

@6:33 AM: ... near the top in teen pregnancies, etc, etc...

Look Who Voted To Protect Child Rapists

Most of the Black Caucus voted against HB #151. HB #151 is a step forward in the fight against child rape. Not statutory rape. Child rape.

Haley's were lots of fun. Phil will probably have someone like Marty Stuart play who he thinks is famous or his brothers band. It's always a disappointment and second rate.

Please pay attention, 9:00 a.m. Marty Stuart IS famous. You might prefer the combo players at Shuckers though.

I hope that everybody here that thinks Feel should forgo his party and save the money do the same thing with any upcoming Christmas parties, football or bowl parties, and of course, their New Year's Eve festivities.

This is a party - and it aint being paid for with your tax dollars. I don't plan to go, but for anybody that wants to pony up their $50 and put on a tux, I hope they have a great time.

All you bitchers here - let us know what charity you sent your holiday party savings to once the checks are written, you hear?

These events are not paid for with tax dollars. Everyone wants something to cry and moan about. Sorry, this ain't it.

Don't forget to wear your boots with your tux just like Feel. He's one of us you know. Used to be a deputy before he became a pubic servant.
